BICEPS

Reverse Barbell Curl

BeginnerBarbell

The reverse barbell curl flips your grip to palms-down, which shifts more work onto the forearms and grip while still training the biceps. It's a useful lift for building functional pulling and gripping strength, and the barbell keeps the movement stable so you can focus on effort.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Stand tall and grip a barbell about shoulder-width apart with palms facing down, arms hanging near your waist.

  2. 2

    Brace your core by breathing in and tightening your abs.

  3. 3

    Bend your elbows to curl the bar up toward your shoulders.

  4. 4

    Keep your elbows at your sides and your spine still throughout.

  5. 5

    Exhale and lower the bar back down under control to the start.
